The Snagged mascot, ready for the hunt
What is this?

A race to crack the clues.

The Snagged Hunt is a web-wide puzzle race. Every clue points somewhere — a public record, a hidden detail, a trail across the internet — and your job is to investigate with free, public tools, follow it to the answer, and enter the code to move on. No insider access needed; you’ll make a quick hunt account to play and claim, but every lookup uses tools anyone can open. Solve faster than everyone else — the first to assemble all five key fragments wins $10,000 cash.

How it works

Four moves. On repeat. Against the clock.

1

Decode

Read the clue. It points you somewhere — a record, an image, a trail to follow.

2

Investigate

Dig with free public tools — WHOIS, search, whatever cracks it. The answer is out there.

3

Find the code

A word, a date, a name hiding in plain sight — that’s your key.

4

Submit & race

Enter it here to unlock the next stretch and bank a fragment. Speed wins.

The key

Collect all five fragments.

The hunt runs in five segments. Clear a segment and you bank one key fragment. Line up all five, put them together, and you’ll have the key that unlocks the finish.

Fair play

No brute force.

Guess wrong and the answer box locks for a beat — and the wait doubles each time you’re off (20s, then 40, then 80…). Solve it properly and you’ll never see the clock. The fun is in the chase, not the spam.
